- Dan told me about what happened just now. Care to explain?

- I got upset...

- So when you get upset you threaten people with knives?

- No ma'am, I have never reacted like that before.

- Listen...I don't want to hear you say something on the lines of: « She killed my mum! She deserved to suffer a bit. » Because we both know that that would be a load of bullshit.

- I think she will get what she deserves one way or another. No I wouldn't say something stupid like that, I don't care about what she did.

- Then why get so upset?

- Just for a minute I felt sorry for her, she had been used by a stranger who she probably didn't know anything of. What kind of person is so naive that they would trust a stranger?

- She is mentally ill, you saw her room.

- If I remember correctly she was doing fine at school. Had good grades and could at least pretend that she was fine.

- You know it is hard to believe since you couldn't even remember her name.

- I know... listen I am sorry. I don't know what I was thinking.

- You weren't thinking and that is the problem. I am already giving you a lot here, at least don't do anything that will make me regret it.

- I will try director. Are you going to keep looking for the killer ?

- Of course. We will chase him until we find him, he is a serial killer after all.

- Excuse me?

- You don't know?

- Know what?

- We will get to it. By the way, I saw that you had an accident when you were younger, one where you lost your father and daughter.

- Yes, I can't remember much of what happened that day... other then my sister and father dying.

- The director before me was in charge of this case, it is the only unsolved case yet.

- It was just an accident.

- That's what everybody thought. But the only one who doubted that was Dan. When I became director we would talk about how the accident occurred and how one survived unscathed.

- But they both died.

-... Josh, We have proof that you were in that car when the accident occurred. We succeeded in retrieving your sisters body but the other body... the one of a man, was not your father. He was unidentified.

- Your saying my father is alive?

- We have no proof that he is alive.

What is happening right now? How could this have happened? I would have remembered being in that car when the accident occurred. Why can I only remember being in the hospital with my mum, waiting... is she testing me?

- What are you saying then?

- I'm just trying to solve the case.

- So your reputation doesn't go down?

- No, for Dan.

- What does he have to do with any of this?

- This is why I called you in.
